Moorish traders in camels seem TO be
NO more honest than the Yankee traders
in horses haye the reputation OF being.
The author Of Among the Arabsn de-
sorIbes one OF their tricks, which, &C
cording to his account, only an expert ia
likely to detect Such an ingenious
method of "raIsing the wind might put
the shrewdest American to the blush
Tue story Was told to the author by, q
Frencbman who had travelled for some
time in Algisrs.
On one occasion while in in Arab
village. he declared his intention of buy
ing q young camel. No sooner had his
desire become known than at least
Twenty cameIs were brought for his in
spectlon.
They were a fine looking animals, in
excellens condition, apparently. In fact
the only fault our Freachman could per-
ceive was that they were too fat. After
o proper amount of elaboration and
bargaining be selected the one which
appeared to be the ieanest and paid the
price agreed upon. v
The next nornlng he went to look at
his fat camel, he found q living skeleton,
on whose almost heshless bones the skin
hung IN large folds and who best de.
velopment was abont the joints.
The method by which the camels are
suddenly "fattened" for the market is
shus described:
An incision about an inch in length is
made in each ear between the skin and
the flesh. Into this q small tnbe is
fitted and secured by a silk cord. There
it remains, hidden from the observation
of all but the initiated and ready for ube
at any moment,
When q merchant who is not acQuaint-
ed with the blowing up trick comes to
buy q camel the dealer takes two tubes,
each q yard long, and, inserting one end
of each 10 the small tubes just des-
cribed, through the other end two
Arabs blow with all their might, until
the animal has attained the requisite
degree Of plumpness. The initiating
tubes are then Withdrawn, and the air is
prevented from escaping by mean OF .
cork smeAred with glitch.
The poor camel now becomes, APP
parently, quite lively and frisky, trying
to throw itself on the ground, or to press
against the wall or q tree, or whatever
other object may be at hand, 30 as TO
get rid OF the wind. 1t is generally too
we'll watched by the rascaiiy Arab TO
succeed in accomplishing it's purpose.
Sometimes, however, ii manages to
elude his vigilsnce; and then, if the cork
is not very securely fastened, the wind
escaper with whistle like that OF o
stean-engine. and the ine-looking beast
suddenly collapses into the miserable
object 1t really is.-Youth's Companion,

1t is strange that the fGol-killer

orphans have been turned from the

interesting facts, among them this +:

how much and what portion of this
grand State is owned by aliens. 1t

b ,siness, and give entrance to
public land only to bona flde

The figures at the immigration
bureau show that during the month
of September last, 4e,l6l foreigners
landed upon our shores for perma
nent home, ostensibly. During the
past nine months the same books
show an immigration of nearly one
half million. Some one who Is II

something serious about these
facts.

that the odor was - disagreeable and with want

We have been to the place, had the plug with.
